Description

The Propeller Nebula gets its name from the formation in the center.  I captured it with my Celestron RASA 8-inch telescope, ASI1600MM mono camera, and narrowband filters.  I processed it in the Hubble Palette, but took some liberties with the blue because the OIII was very weak.

All of the data was captured in October and November 2021.

Ha (60 exposures, 3 minutes each)
SII (60 exposures, 3 minutes each)
OIII (120 exposures, 1 minute each)

Total exposure time: 8 hours

Gain 75, Offset 15 used on all.
